Rag ‘n’ Bone Man – Ego
Rag ‘n’ Bone Man – Ego
Only after he scored big with Human last year, many people got to know Rag ‘n’ Bone Man. But Rory Graham (his real name) is far from a newcomer. Already at the age of 15 (around the turn of the century), he was MC with a drum & bass crew, calling himself Rag ‘n’ Bonez. A decade later, he collaborated with MC/producer Leaf Dog under the name Dog ‘n’ Bone.
The last years, he released three mini albums: Bluestown, Put That Soul On Me and Wolves. His first full album, Human, is not a mini album, it’s a maxi album, with 19 tracks on the Deluxe Edition. It has just been released.
Hungry for new material to play, radio stations immediately put second single Skin on their playlists, but in hindsight this is hardly the best track on the album. As a consequence, the songs that have been put out digitally over the last days, in order to build up momentum for the album release, will probably have to wait some time to be picked up by radio. But when the time is right, expect Ego to be the proper follow-up to Human. Another smash!

The Gardener & The Tree – Out To Sea
The Gardener & The Tree are a Swiss band that was founded in 2013. Manuel Felder, Patrik Muggli, Daniel Fet, Philippe Jüttner and Lucas Pfeifer are its current members. Their first EP Revolution brought them to the attention of major record company Universal, where they are now signed. Following a second EP, Mossbo, they put out their first full length album 69591, LAXÅ. Meanwhile, they were awarded some prestigious prizes in their home country. The Gardener & The Tree were crowned Best Talent by radio station SRF 3 and received a Swiss Music Award as Best Live Act.
Right now, the quintet are working on their sophomore long-player. The last three years, they’ve written around 80 tracks, a part of which will appear on the upcoming record. Out To Sea is their new single. A driving track with a propulsive piano part and, as always, Manuel Felder’s impressive, Rag ‘n’ Bone Man-like voice.

Rick Astley – Every One Of Us
A lot has changed since Rick Astley started his career as a tea boy in the Stock Aitken Waterman studios. His first proper single Never Gonna Give You Up (1987) was a worldwide smash and in the years that followed, he sold over 40 million records. After 1993, Astley retired from the music industry at the age of 27, deciding that family life was more important.
In 2007, he made an unlikely comeback as an internet phenomenon. His Never Gonna Give You Up video showed up everywhere unexpectedly, a viral internet meme known as ‘rickrolling’.
On 25 October, Astley releases a new greatest hits album: The Best Of Me. It features original and reimagined versions of his hits, as well as the new song Every One Of Us. A tune with a surprising new sound, in line with that of Rag ‘n’ Bone Man and Hozier. Astley wrote and produced the song himself, and played all of the instruments on it. A great and welcome return!

House Of Spirituals – Too Many Days [Ninja Mix]
House Of Spirituals are a rather mysterious London-based project, apparently featuring a British and a Spanish member. When they released their debut single Too Many Days at the end of 2015, it was immediately clear they’re inspired by Alan Lomax’s field recordings and have an obsession with ‘electronic soul meets swap stomp’.
At the time, they explained in an interview the song was written by the band as a message of hope to themselves, having been in a desolate place. “We had just been talking about the dark times we were going through. The room felt really heavy as it was one of those times when you don’t have an answer to the situation you’re going through. Straight away I went over to the piano and the words ‘too many days, I’ve been down’ came straight out. Then the rest of the song carried on writing itself and got more positive. It became almost a ‘call of arms’ for us to get up and fight our way out of the darkness.”
Three years later, the world has gotten to know artists like Hozier and Rag ‘n’ Bone Man, who operate in the same musical field as House Of Spirituals. A great moment to try and launch their career on a broader scale with this beefed-up version of the song that started it all…

The Revivalists – All My Friends
Hozier and Rag ‘n’ Bone Man’s successes appear to have inspired many other contemporary artists in making a musical cocktail containing blues, rock and soul. That often turns out good, to my liking. This is one more example.
Don’t forget, however, that New Orleans 8-piece The Revivalists have been a hard-working band for 10 years, but they are now on the verge of breaking outside the US and Canada. This new song might do the trick.
All My Friends was produced by Dave Bassett, who worked with Elle King before, herself known for the infectious mix of genres I just described. In cooperation with the band, Bassett turned the track into a floor-stomping song, which a press release calls ‘striking, sharp, and soulful, with swaggering piano and boisterous horns’. And that’s just what it is…
All My Friends is the first single off The Revivalists’ upcoming fourth studio album, set to be released this autumn.

Joseph J. Jones – Crawl
The impact of artists like Hozier and Rag ‘n’ Bone Man is incredible. Both of them being only at the beginning of their (commercial) careers, they already amassed a huge following. Of fans, but also of other artists who fish in the same musical pond.
Joseph J. Jones, whose grandfather was a jazz guitarist with the BBC, brings a fine mix of folk, blues and soul to the table, with intimate lyrics, sung with an incredible voice. Last year, he collaborated with co-writer/producer Richard Frenneaux, who worked with artists like Ella Eyre and Parson James before.
Jones’s promising new single is entitled Crawl.

Moncrieff – Symptoms
For a debut release, Symptoms is one hell of an introduction. London-based singer-songwriter Moncrieff – one of Adele’s former backing vocalists – describes his music as ‘neo-noir’. But that’s just a word, isn’t it? To make it a little more concrete, I’d like to throw in terms like soulful and bluesy. And to make sure you know what I mean by that, think equal parts Hozier and Rag ‘n’ Bone Man.
The accompanying music video takes inspiration from Quentin Tarantino and neo-noir films, both of which have influenced Moncrieff’s song-writing as well.
